Subj: Sonatine by Pierre Gabaye

Benjamin,

Hats off to Eastman for assigning the Gabaye "Sonatine." One of
my favorite pieces, I performed it a few years ago after hearing a taped
performance by Darryl Stevens in Boulder, Colorado.

I didn't have any better luck than you in getting information on
the composer and would appreciate anything you turn up on the person. I
do recall referring to Gabaye as "he" just as you had and was
tentatively corrected by someone who thought Gabaye is/was a woman.

Based on the unusual complexity and sophistication of the piano
part, I would guess the composer's instrument to be primarily the piano.

I hope you turn up more about the composer and I also hope you'll
share the information.

Regards,

Connie
